chill music bumps and clicks in the dark club, chatter and clinking of glasses mixing into one big sound as the night stretches on. the air is warm, packed with bodies and hype energy from the dance floor just moments earlier, and you feel yourself finally starting to relax.

(in your boyfriend lando's arms, of course.)

he's slumped back in the booth he rented out for your shared friend group, legs spread lazily as he nurses a drink in one hand. your head is tucked into his chest, fingers toying with the chain around his neck as he conversates with his best friend max. lando's pleasantly warm, cologne mixing in with the floral scent of the booth as it washes over you in waves.

you know lando's locked in on the conversation conspiring between the two, noticing the way he subconsciously chews at his lip. he's nodding in understanding at something max said, curls shifting with the movement as he chimes in.

your hands are sliding down lando's exposed forearm, fingers softly grazing his tanned skin as you smile up at him. "lan?"

he looks down at you as if you've hung the stars in the sky, lips quirking up in a small smile as he replies. "yes, love?"

"i wanna go home. i'm tired of these people," you whine teasingly, and your friends giggle while max throws his hands up in the air dramatically. "sorry we're no fun."

"glad you know it, max. you're terribly boring to listen to." you grin in a teasing manner, and max just rolls his eyes, playfully shooing you away.

"i just think someone's too busy climbing lando like a tree." your friend jeers, and you don't even deny it, leaning into lando more as he presses a kiss to your forehead.

"damn right," lando winks, taking a sip of whatever's in his glass before he slowly sits up, allowing you to adjust your position as he grabs his keys and wallet from the table.

"well you heard it here, folks. it's time for us to go." lando groans as he stretches, standing up from his place in the booth before he leaves a nice tip on the table. your friends quickly slide from the booth to let you exit, bidding you goodbye with hugs as max does his handshake with lando for the last time tonight.

after saying goodbye for the night, lando protectively puts his hand on the small of your back before guiding you out of the bumping club. the night sky is clear, fresh with a nice breeze as nightlife continues on the street.

"did you have fun tonight, love?" lando's leaning into you slightly as you two walk to his car, lips brushing your ear in a hurried kiss as you nod. "lots of fun."

"good. i'm glad i could take you with me." lando smiles, one hand in his pocket as the other one grabs yours. you're swinging his arm from side to side, basking in the night air as he leads you to the parking space. once you reach the car door, he opens it for you, sprinting to the other side and starting it as soon as your seatbelt clicks into place.

"we'll stop by somewhere to get you something to eat, and then we can go home and do some netflix and chill, yeah?" lando has one hand on your thigh as he glances behind him before backing out, and you smile happily, nearly jumping out of your chair in joy as you nod. "oh my god, yes, please."

lando chuckles, discarding his cap and tossing it to the back before you hastily run your hand through his curls and peck his lips. "now drive, lover boy."

lando's pressing his foot on the gas as soon as those lovely words leave your mouth.
